What's your name he said With laughter and disdain (x2) He didn't answer immediatly The outcome would be decided not by blood or treachery But by conviction and pride Like a game of hide and seek where you have to disguise your trick Pretend you're stronger And never show how pitiful your anger makes you look You can't disguise who you are Your scars are written on your sleeve With anger and sadness, you leave Victim of another soul burning war It's all about pretending and never about being Your name doesn't matter (x3) You will laugh at one another when you both ignore everything about each other

What are you trying to hide from me? I saw a shadow move, I swear it could have been mine All I know is it's never coming back Paint it, shape it up and throw it my away like a distant memory (x4) It's hard to look at people's face and recognize part of a relative Someone I could talk to (x2) Instead you all nod your head You understand, yes You understand all so well You understand
3.
I was alone, they were two, my better half was gone Now, I wanted you Each time he looked somewhere else, I made sure to be there But then you realized, once there was another And why she left for something better. That's how I look, I can't help it (x4) Now, he wants to fight He said, I shouldn't have touched her I turn my head around, and ask him to hit me but to make no sound I don't want hear anything I just wanted to feel like a king (x2) Not good enough to kick Not good enough to hit Good enough for what then? (x2)

Whose voice was it? Did I really say that outloud? Who was really holding the knife? Can't remember what happened? Just forget. Forget who you are. The murder will get away and there will no witness No fucking witness The murder will get away and there will no witness Carve it on your flesh If it goes deep enough you won't be able to tell who it was You won't able to tell who it was You won't be able To tell who it was Can't open, don't want to open my eyes Carve, just carve He is carving. I am carving. We are carving. (x2) Nobody is doing anything. No eyes to see and no mouth to tell Whereas there ever was or wasn't doesn't have any importance I want to get away from this place I call myself
6.
Sitting in the dirt without a shirt Without a wall to claim as mine I've been looked at with disdain and anger I've been ignored and mistaken for anoth On my bare chest, people can read my message Help me find a way to myself I left my name I've colored it with lies So much I can't recognize it on my own Don't try to forget I exist You were my friend once You're still my brother You'll always be my mother I've become meaningless No more than a statistic Or a movement in the corner of your eye Look at me beg and recognize the person behind. I've still got face, I've got a story to tell To anybody who wants to give a damn And forget for a second, the dirt and the shame The dirt and the shame (x8)

about

Un peu moins de deux années de labeur après la sortie de leur premier Ep, Arms Of Ra dévoile ce premier album, composé avec toujours la même énergie et la même envie de recracher leurs influences, oscillant entre TarantulaHawk, DazzlingKillmen, Gaza ou même Kickback.

"Unnamed" se découpe en six titres indépendants, mais articlués autour de l'histoire de cet homme qui cherche à se déconstruire et disparaitre aux yeux de la société.

Si la musique des parisiens à perdue en lourdeur, elle a surtout gagnée en rage et incisivité. La voix y a aussi pris en importance, autant que les compositions en ampleur, illustrant ces heures passées à réfléchir et à modeler les morceaux, donnant naissance à un album plus difficile d'accès que leur premier essai, mais avec toujours une vision propre au delà des influences.
________________________________________________________

After a little less than two years since the release of their first EP and lots of hard work, Arms of Ra finally releases its first album, composed with the same energy and the same drive to mash up their influences, from Tarantula Hawk, Dazzling Killmen, to Gaza or even Kickback.

"Unnamed" contains six independents songs which are all linked by the same story of a man trying to deconstruct himself and disappear from society.
If the music from this Parisian band lost in weight, it certainly gained in rage and sharpness.

The voice has taken much more importance. The compositions got also much more depths, demonstrating the hours of reflections to mold these songs, and give birth to an album that’s more difficult to listen to than their first, while still keeping their own vision that goes beyond their influences.
